Integration

Wikimedia Analytics integration

Wikimedia Analytics (the Analytics Query Service) publishes traffic and editing statistics for Wikipedia and every other Wikimedia project, as time series and rankings: page views per project, per article and per country, most-viewed articles, unique devices, edits, edited and new pages, bytes changed, editors and new registered users, most active editors and most edited pages, media file requests and video plays on upload.wikimedia.org, and Commons Impact Metrics for tracked Commons categories and media files. Page view data starts in July 2015 (legacy pagecounts cover 2008 to 2016). A 404 answer means the API holds no data for that query (a zero, or data not loaded yet). No credential is needed; requests are rate limited per client, and the data is CC0.

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in Wikimedia Analytics.Built from the 47 Wikimedia Analytics tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with Wikimedia Analytics

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Aggregate, 9 operations

Use Wikimedia Analytics from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Wikimedia Analytics in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Wikimedia Analytics operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
